On August 12, 1926, a nearly complete mastodon skeleton was found by tenant farmer James Bailey on the farm of Friend Butt in Johnstown OH.

The mastodon was in a six foot deep peat pit. The shallow depression was once a natural pond over which then property owner Friend Butt once skated on when he was a young boy.

A Newark, OH businessman bought the skeleton and subsequently sold it to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where it remains on display today.

It took them a mere 113 years since their founding to reach the pinnacle of their fame. One can only imagine what 2039 has in store!

"If I could give zero stars, I would.No directions were provided on how to check in, just a code that had no place for entry. There were no parking directions given.We were let in by a resident of the apartment complex, and he told us that the room number attached to the listing was not a room number in the complex. We sent messages to the host, and the host never replied. We had to get another place to stay, and we got bit by a spider there — resulting in a trip to the emergency room. All...

Hyatt House Columbus OSU / Short North

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot for what we needed. Hallways were really loud and you could hear people talking in other rooms, but ultimately it was worth the stay. "

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Rooftop bar had great cocktails & awesome views. Bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We didn't eat at the property, because we were there for just one night. After enjoying some delicious cocktails and small eats at the rooftop bar, we wanted to go out for dinner. Lot of dinner options at walking distance from the hotel."

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Our check in was easy and fast. The valet and front desk were polite and extremely helpful (when checking out as well). The location is fantastic. Stadium is a 5 minute walk and everything else is within a 15 min walking distance as well. 10/10 recommend!"
